Seems like for things that are: 1. Perfectly parallel 2. Not accelerated by some of the other stuff that's on the Apple Silicon SoC's ...it will be a toss-up.

Threadripper 3990X get about 25k in Geekbench Multicore [1]

M1 Max gets about 12.5k in Geekbench Multicore, so pretty much exactly half [2]

Obviously different tasks will have _vastly_ different performance profiles. For example it's likely that the M1 Ultra will blow the Threadripper out of the water for video stuff, whereas Threadripper is likely to win certain types of compiling.

There's also the upcoming 5995WX which will be even faster: [3]
